How I Work
Following an initial telephone conversation, and after you have sent in the material you have for inclusion on the site, along with any instructions regarding layout or colour schemes I will put together a draft site with little information for design approval. I then complete the site with the full information making any alterations as requested. I keep in regular contact with you during the complete design process to ensure the design keeps within your image. Once final approval has been received the final version of your new site is sent live on the internet.
Most of the consultation work is carried out by telephone or email but if you wish to meet me in person to discuss all your needs the website details then this can be arranged at any time during the design.
Depending on the size of your site the design and build will usually take between two and four weeks, provided that all design materials are submitted promptly and in digital form and you are available for approval.
Please see my example sites to see the style and quality of my work.

Website Design
I specialise in creating websites for small businesses and personal events, after all, now we are in the third millennium and ever growing more and more technological!
Charges are based on the size and complexity of the site. A site for a small business, club or personal wedding website would expect to contain up to 10 pages including text and images.
Using a basic style I will design you a new website from scratch or implement your own design to create a clear and attractive website design with a user-friendly layout.
Images, graphics and logos; you will probably have images you would like to use on your site, but if you don’t or are unsure I can create simple images for you.
My ‘Personal Touch’ service means I will work in close consultation with you at all times to make sure that your website develops in exactly the way you want at a price you’ll want.
Whatever you want from your website, contact me today and I'll help you turn your ideas into reality.
